I tried it out on the slowest computer I have - a 233 AMD K6, with 48MB of ram, running Win98, and it ran fine...
it takes 2-3 minutes to load with this computer (with no splash screen, etc), there has to be SOMETHING wrong, don't tell me there's nothing...
I fixed it, anyway, but thanks for ur reply...

You are running the same setup as me...I think...I am on an I850 chipset with 512MB RDRAM and am considering reinstalling Photoshop 6.0 back on my XP Machine now, so what did you do to improve performance and loadup time on your machine?
